50th Anniversary of JFK's Inauguration
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Regardless of how you feel about JFK's politics, it's very difficult to argue that this wasn't one of the most iconic speeches ever made in US history. Visually speaking (literally), I wanted to emphasize that statement by creating a word cloud style illustration made up entirely of words and phrases from John F. Kennedy's famous inaugural address (including the portrait of Kennedy himself), with the most famous line bolded out across the logo.
